Quote:
{2:255} God - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
القيوم is not an easy word to translate. It means the one who takes care of all at all times and keeps everything under control.
I suggest,
{2:255} God - there is no deity except He, the Living, the Supreme Maintainer. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Who is that who may mediate before Him except by His permission? He knows what is between their hands (ahead of them) and what is behind them, and they do not encompass a bit of His knowledge except by what He has willed. His footrest has spanned the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not tire Him. And He is the High, Grand One.
